To clarify my gut reaction... Curtis Evans exhibits the kind of quiet, courageous leadership, grounded in lived experience, that make him a natural leader.
Thank you! Been looking for a replacement for the NYTimes and the Wash Post, both of which are worthless. Tribune looks like a good choice, and the photography is superb.
